Thrive! is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mission of reducing poverty by building skills and relationships that strengthen families and individuals.

According to the Community Needs Assessment for Riley County in January 2015:

21.2% of persons in Riley County live below the poverty level; and

19% of children under 18 live in a family below the poverty level.

Our vision is to alleviate generational poverty in our community. Thrive! operates very differently from other nonprofits. We invite you to find out more about our long-term “walk with me” approach that pairs individuals in poverty — Leaders — with people who want to help fight the stressors of poverty — Allies.
